hi,
use mfc classwizard,open message maps tab ,select the project,class name and Object id (menu item id), messages:command , press add function button to enable it.
Add your message-handling function, so you can key-in some code within the function (=responce of the menu item).

CFrameWnd::m_bAutoMenuEnable
Remarks

When this data member is enabled (which is the default), menu items that do not have ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI or ON_COMMAND handlers will be automatically disabled when the user pulls down a menu.

Menu items that have an ON_COMMAND handler but no ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler will be automatically enabled.

When this data member is set, menu items are automatically enabled in the same way that toolbar buttons are enabled.

This data member simplifies the implementation of optional commands based on the current selection and reduces the need for an application to write ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handlers for enabling and disabling menu items.
